Wellcome to IW Svanur

Well I use a Bounty hunter...due to his traps...and MY bounty hunter duals scimitars!
But IŽd start by buffing the hide in shadows/find traps/Pick locks and then go from there by buffing the set traps ability That ROCKS in the later stages of the game

Pick that and pick this, but never pick up a trap...Oooouch!

If you are not too keen on having a pure theif I would strongly adivce you to start the game as a fighter and immediately dual-class to thief. That way you can use almost any weapon and get proficient up to grand mastery (+++++) with it. You also get better damage and THACO. If you immediately dual at the beginning you'll have to do Chapter 1 with a Level 1 Thief (leveling up very fast), but have all your fighting abilities back at the beginning of Chapter 2 which then will make you a kickass assassin (backstab for 200 dmg, yeah)

My archer uses it as a secondary weapon, which is very effective. It is a realy killer. But so it the Mana Bow!

I think that the Heartseeker is better than the mana bow.
Scimitars are not that good in SoA.Use katana/CF
